Cows in a Dutch landscape, Elswout, which is Dutch for Alder Wood. It is an estate where I like to go, wandering around the fields and gardens. One sunny Sunday morning I went there with my painting gear and sketched and painted three sketches; one of the small beck running along; one of the alder trees along the road; and one of the cows grazing the field behind. I then went home and made one painting of it. It reflects the atmosphere of that early morning, with the light starting to fall through the dampness of night still lingering between the trees.
